An American Dream (Edit)

An American Dream (Edit) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I beg your pardon mama what did you say

My mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay

It's not that I'm not interested you see;

Augusta Georgia is just no place to be

I think Jamaican in the moonlight

Sandy beaches drinking rum every night

We got no money mama but we can go;

We'll split the difference go to Coconut Grove

Keep on talking mama I can hear

Your voice it tickles down inside of my ear

I feel a tropical vacation this year

Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear

I think Jamaican in the moonlight

Sandy beaches drinking rum every night

We got no money mama but we can go;

We'll split the difference go to Coconut Grove

Voila An American Dream

Well we can travel girl without any means

When it's as easy as closing your eyes

And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign

Just keep talking mama I like that sound

It goes so easy with that rain falling down

I think a tropical vacation this year

Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear

Voila An American Dream

Yeah we can travel girl without any means

When it's as easy as closing your eyes

And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign

Just think Jamaican in the moonlight

Sandy beaches drinking rum every night

We got no money mama but we can go;

We'll split the difference go to Coconut Grove
